The MHD Sport 2.0 Wi-Fi Action Camera + Live View RF Wrist Remote is on sale for $100 with free standard shipping at the Monoprice website. The coupon PLUG15 (15% off, ends 5/22/16) does NOT work on this since it is already on sale.

Back to the land of milk and honey (and everything else you can think of), the eBay Deals Top 100, where the official GoPro eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished GoPro HERO3+ Silver bundled with a Remote control and the GoPro Wrist Housing, along with a 1-year warranty, all together for $170 with free shipping with a limit of 50 units per customer.

Currently Costco has two camera offers that are members-only exclusives (you can’t buy members-only items with a 5% surcharge if you are not member), which often means the prices are better than the rest of the internets. It is the red Olympus TG-4 waterproof P&S cameras with extras, and the GoPro Hero3+ Silver Edition with Li-ion Battery and Dual Battery Charger.

NOTE: Unfortunately I am not a Costco member, so I don’t know what the prices are. Even if you login with a Costco account, you can’t see the prices without being a member. Maybe I need to start a Kickstarter to fund purchases of memberships so I can check prices 😉

From the Drones to the Action cameras, B&H Photo is having an “Add to Cart” promotion on the GoPro HERO4 Silver, model CHDHY-401, bundled with a free GoPro Remote 1.0 and Wrist Housing Bundle, all together for $330 with free shipping. The free items are listed prominently over there while this promotion is running. If you don’t see them mentioned, it means the promotion expired. You don’t have to login to see the price, but you have to click the “Add to Cart” button.

To the eBay Deals, the official GoPro eBay store is offering manufacturer refurbished GoPro HERO3+ Silver Edition action cameras with a 1-year warranty from GoPRO for $150 with free shipping. Limit 50 units per customer. Nearly 9500 units got sold so far from this listing per the listings stats over there.

Gamestop is not just video games, they also offer a variety of popular tech lifestyle type of accessories (in a way similar to what cellphone carriers are trying to do).

DJI has more new quadcopters, perhaps risking the same issue as GoPro with too many models in the market. But the drone market is going up (no pun intended) while the action camera market is cooling off a bit. Regardless, two new models have been announced and are available for pre-order at B&H Photo, the DJI Matrice 100 Quadcopter for $3300 and the DJI Matrice 600 Quadcopter for $4600.

We continue with last week’s experimental pattern of posting in theme groups. This group of posts has an action camera and drone and such theme starting with…

… the eBay Deals, where the official GoPro eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished factory sealed with a 1-year warranty GoPro HERO3+ Silver Edition for $149 with free shipping with a limit of five per customer.

The entry-level GoPRO Hero action camera, model CHDHA-301, is on sale again, going for $110 (was $115 at Amazon) with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself (limit 3) and B&H Photo and Walmart. Looks like a price match but without a time machine, I can’t tell who “started it” 🙂

The DJI Inspire 1 RAW Quadcopter with Zenmuse X5R 4K Camera and 3-Axis Gimbal is now in-stock for $6000 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo. This is the most expensive of the six standard DJI Inspire 1 kits, which come with a Micro Four Thirds mount and include a Panasonic 15mm f1.7 lens. And RAW.

The EF Mount is trying to kill the Video Star perhaps 🙂 Which brings us to a brand new square don’t-call-me-RED-competitor EF-mount blocky camera from Canon, the Canon ME200S-SH Multi-Purpose Video & Still Super35mm Camera, available for pre-order for $5000 at Adorama. Coming along with it is the brand new Canon Compact-Servo 18-80mm T4.4 EF Lens available for pre-order for $5225.

The new DJI Phantom 4 Quadcopter has began shipping. You can get it for $1399 with free shipping from Adorama and by various sellers at Amazon (including Amazon itself) and Best Buy upon eBay. Of note this new model has obstacle avoidance technology baked in.

The Canon EOS C100 Mark II Cinema EOS Camera with the Dual Pixel CMOS functionality is now on sale for $4500 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo. Please note this item is NOT returnable… For business customers, Canon offers a leasing program through Canon Financial, 0% on a 24 Month term or 2% on a 36 Month term. The PDF file over there has all the details… If you also need lenses with it, when you page down over there, you will see bundles with some common Canon lenses… If price-checking around, make sure you compare Dual Pixel and Mark II model prices…

And now we have a mini VR camera theme from B&H Photo, starting with the LG G5 VR Bundle offered for $750 with free shipping in either the Silver or Titan color schemes. This gets you the LG G5 smartphone (carrier unlocked, GSM, CDMA depends, no contract) along with the LG 360 CAM Spherical Camera and the LG 360 VR Smartphone Headset. Shipping estimate is early May 2016.

There is no release estimate yet.

DJI wants to mix March Madness with Drone Madness. Their just-announced DJI Phantom 4 with obstacle avoidance technology (why did it take so many models before this got added) will be available for purchase on March 23 in 2016. The Phantom 4 kit will go for $1400 while its official backpack will go for $200.

PS: I created a new main category called Other Cameras to track video cameras, action cameras, drone cameras, and other non-camera cameras. Previously they were all included in the Fixed Lens Cameras category. This change is going forward, I will not go back and edit all the previous posts.

Canon has a soccer/football team of Instant Savings on eleven Professional Camcorders with prices ranging from $1300 to $3500, featuring products in the XA- and XF- product lines. You can see all participating items nicely organized at B&H Photo.

And we are back with another wave, this time we take some action on the action camera front, with an Add-To-Cart offer at B&H Photo. For $330 with free expedited shipping, you get the GoPro HERO4 Silver with the GoPro Remote 1.0 and Wrist Housing Bundle ($110 on its own) included for FREE automatically by B&H during this promotion.
